Musical Dreams

For any of our friends in our neck of the woods, Wal-mart is selling the classic musicals Fiddler on the Roof and Westside Story. We are watching Fiddler now, and I’m remembering that I always hated the dream scene in this movie. What a weird scene.

Then I remembered that I also hate the dream scene in Oklahoma. Also very, very weird.

Then I remembered that I also hate the daydream scene (Just you wait, Henry Higgins!) in My Fair Lady. Cheesy and weird.

Come to think of it, I have hated just about any dream scene in any musical. What’s up with that? Note to all musical composers and screenwriters: No more dream scenes! ;-)
